Sony is announcing a new professional dye-sublimation printer, the Sony UP-DR80 photo printer, providing event photographers, portrait studios and retailers a reliable solution for producing high quality digital photo prints. The new printer’s features include the ability to output both glossy and ProMatte finishes, fast print speeds, and an advanced dye-sublimation process that does not require many of the harmful chemicals used in film-based printers. With a footprint of just 12.5 inches x 16.75 inches x 8.13 inches (WxDxH) and weighing only 25 lbs, the new printer is among the smallest and lightest full-page, dye-sublimation printers available today.

Sony is debuting a lightweight photo printer with built-in carrying handles and the ability to print pictures in less than a minute. The Sony DPP-FP90 PictureStation photo printer also offer extensive editing capabilities with a one-button print process and simple set-up for operation virtually anywhere. “Our new personal printer brings the photo lab to you, whether you’re out at a party or in the comfort of your home” said Kelly Davis, Sony Electronics’ senior product manager for PictureStation. “Digital cameras have brought picture-taking into our daily lives and our PictureStation photo printers are designed to complement the camera’s ability to capture and share memories in the moment.”

The PMA show, or Photo Marketing Association, continues its yearly tradition of maintaining a network of photo imaging as well as the experience and know-how of the industry. The PMA represents 20,000 members from over 100 countries, who are all active within the imaging industry. As a reflection of the changes in the market, the PMA organization has also changed and has become more diverse. Nowadays, the member group consists of representatives coming from photo retail, manufacturers, commercial photo labs, professional sports and news photography, in addition to small album print suppliers and photo processing centers. The PMA 2012 Trade show focuses on an industry which is heavily affected by the unstable situation of the global financial economy. However, whether the latter will also stand in the way of the innovation and product introductions, remains to be revealed by the PMA International Convention & Trade Show in Anaheim Convention Center (California, US).
